Meeting with Raemund

As Arthur walked, one of the stationed guards noticed his approach and moved toward him with discipline. Though the man wore standard-issue armour, the sharpness in his posture and the measured pace of his steps spoke of a seasoned soldier.

He stopped a few paces away, offering a respectful nod.

"Sir, how may I assist you?" the guard asked, his tone polite but alert. Clearly, he recognised Arthur's identity.

Arthur returned the nod, keeping his voice calm and direct. "I'm here to speak with General Draketower. Is he available?"

The guard didn't hesitate. "One moment, sir. I'll inform the General of your arrival."

He turned and moved quickly toward the command tower, leaving Arthur to wait beneath the shadow of the great eastern wall.

The guard returned swiftly and gave Arthur a sharp nod. "The General will see you. Please follow me."
